3rd-Party Recipient-Specific File and Folder Links

Follow

When you need to share files and folders with specific individuals outside of your organization and ensure that only those people can access the links, you can use the newly enhanced Specific Recipients link security option.

An updated link sharing pop-up will soon be made generally available to all the customers. Refer here for the details on the update.

Previously the recipient-specific link security choice only allowed domain users to be included as recipients. You can now include third parties who are not users in the recipient list by adding their email addresses. 

This feature is available for "Platform Enterprise" and "Enterprise Lite" customers only.

Enabling the 3rd-Party Recipient Option

To enable this ability, an administrator needs to change the following settings for the Egnyte domain. Go to Settings->General, then to the Sharing section and set the value of the Specific Recipients include parameter to "Any email recipient":
